A week of beer

The city’s third an­nual Au­tumn Craft Beer Fes­ti­val has evolved from a week­end event to a week­long “tour” of six brew­pubs across the cap­i­tal: Slow Boat Brew­ery, Great Leap Brew­ing, Ar­row Fac­tory Brew­ing, Panda Brew­pub, NBeer Pub and Jing A (Tap­room and the Big Smoke). The per­mit was de­nied this year for hold­ing the event at a sin­gle venue, so many pubs will have spe­cial events and beers on tap from many brew­ers across China, in­clud­ing three brew­eries from Wuhan and Xian Brew­ery in Shaanxi. The beer fes­ti­val con­tin­ues through Fri­day.
